Like a Machine



Today I spent a good 3 hours making hundreds and hundred of silver head pins! What did everyone else do? It's one of those things that I hate doing, but it must be done so that I can move onto more enjoyable things. It's such a repetitive process that I sometimes feel like  a machine. If there was a head making machine that was somewhat affordable, I'd buy it!



Speaking of Machines, if you haven't seen La Machine's Giant 2.7 million dollar robotic spider, then you should! It's pretty amazing.  It stands 50 feet high and can crawl and spray water. It's been on tour  for the last year and was last shown at the 150th anniversary of  the Yokohama Port in Japan. Pretty crazy stuff! (Photo by Mathew Andrews)



On a less robotic note, We found a robins nest in our bush by the house, I can't wait till they 
hatch!  Happy Spring Everyone!

Towson Wrap Up

THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING OUT TO VISIT ME!

Finished up Towson Town Fest this weekend! It was a great show except for the weather. The first day was wonderful, not too sunny, not too hot, just right! I had a great time with my new set up and new tent (whoever made EZ up is a GOD) I decided to put out fewer things this time and had a great success! Jewelry artist Ben Neubauer told me while I was at ACC last year that he doesn't put out all of his earring designs at once so people don't get overwhelmed. I think I'm starting to understand what he means.  So not only was the setup nicer looking and less cluttered, it was so much easier to take down!  

Despite a wonderful Saturday, Sunday was a complete downpour! We went over to set up Sunday morning and only decided to stay for an hour. Many people were packing up and  the weather called for rain all day.  With an upcoming presentation to study for on top of not feeling that well, we decided to pack it up  and instead got some good hot breakfast! 

Outdoor shows are always a gamble and I go into them knowing that, it's almost part of the fun! I had a great time and even though Sunday was a bust, got home and did some much needed house cleaning! So it was all good in the end. Thanks again to everyone who came out to see me and support me!  

Much love! -Amy
